Well, prepare to be enthralled. In a video that will leave you spellbound, Bocelli performs “Dolce è Sentire (Fratello Sole, Sorella Luna),” which translates to “Sweet is to Feel (Brother Sun, Sister Moon).” His performance begins with him charming the air with eloquent flute melodies, setting a serene atmosphere before he sings the first lines of this exquisite song in his trademark opera voice. Let’s dive into Bocelli’s virtuoso flute display below.

This magical moment is part of a live Christmas concert broadcast from the Basilica di San Francesco in Assisi, Italy, on December 25, 2020. Alongside Bocelli, an orchestra of talented musicians, some adorned with protective masks, shares this experience.

“This sung prayer of Franciscan inspiration is a small masterpiece, set to a tune by my dear departed friend, Riz Ortolani. A composition that testifies to the awe of creation, referencing the ‘Canticle of the Sun’ composed eight centuries ago by the Holy Poet of Assisi, is intense and moving in its melodic simplicity. And I hope that this music, from Assisi to the notes of ‘Dolce Sentire,’ may be a balm for all your hearts,” Bocelli shares in the video’s description.

With these heartfelt words, Bocelli extends an invitation to embrace the new year with optimism and serenity. Thank you, Andrea, for this beacon of hope and beauty.
